Light just stays the same color Waste of money and time         Light doesnt transition Danimal310

Screen should go to sleep I don t want to watch the app screen and the tv     I want to watch on the tv not the app WillBe3812

Should be free for a variety of reasons One being that the app does really work unless your pointing the phone at the tv I repeat your phone has to aim at the tv This app should be free for this joke of a process to work         So close but needs work cheifsmackahoe

It pulses my lights even when on slow and after a few minutes it made me dizzy like I d spun in a circle for minutes The list of lights is not ordered or grouped I have more than 50 It would be good to be able to disable an entire room at once or at least sort them alphabetically     Doesn t use groups rooms Made me dizzy nuclearspike

I have my entire home integrated with some sort of Home Automation Philips Hue being the center of the Entertainment TOM as well as the living room It has a hard time while watching 3D movies on my set in the living room Reading other reviews I concur with the could use microphone in conjunction like other apps like DISCO or SYNC MY LIGHTS I d pay a little more for advanced controls like the ones in the apps listed above It s a little hard for a phone to get the entire screen into the camera without getting some of the hue lights in it as well Trying to get the camera lined up with the TV is a little cumbersome but that s not the apps fault it s a wet ware problem This app gets great reviews from CNET as well as some other highly respected consumer sites I agree Again if somehow you could integrate the use of the microphone and maybe a list of movies that have already been SYNC d so that we the consumer could pick the movie on a list and begin there as well again I would pay extra as well as many a friend would too Keep up the updates and maybe a beta test app would be great as well as well as a                 Nice tech needs a little more prochauffeur

This app does a horrible job identifying colors I had it aimed at a TV and it only showed different intensities of white light It was slow to change and lagged a second behind what was on the camera     Waste of money UpUser3478484

This app is pretty cool I think it could be better if the lights weren t always on For example during a horror movie most scenes should be dark so the lights should be off with flashes of color as the scene ramps up I was watching a scene where it was flashing back and forth between two people talking in the same room The lights kept flashing back and forth with different colors The scene was constant so the light should be constant I think it would be better suited to recognize motion more than just color Every scene doesn t need to flash colors just the important parts Keep the lights off until there are explosions then flash the lights yellow white orange etc I think this would bring in the mood more If the app could use the microphone as well to listen for variations in noise it could then flash with thunder or beat with a heart or flash when someone screams Another suggestion might be to add movie categories so it knows not to keep the lights on during a horror movie or to brighten up with colors for a kids movie Overall still a really cool app and worth the money to have fun with friends and family             Pretty cool 1234567$&@"

Perfect for movie night                     Works great 7301846281

This app doesn t work for me I m on the latest version of iOS have the newest hub everything is up to date no luck     Doesn t work L2TheZ

So worth it                     Love it Iamthesam

They just screw you out if your money The app doesn t work Buyer beware Avoid         Rip Off Jtrayford

Can you update it to have the screen off during use to save battery                 Seems to work well kjozz_itunes

Latest update seems to have corrected this app Now it s back to the simple effective app that does what it promises Thank you Purchased the app Loved it Worked great For a while Now it won t connect to a bridge Still waiting for support I will adjust review accordingly when help arrives                 Waiting for response UPDATE JcHawk

I ve emailed the developer about how bad the app is with no reply thus far I didn t realize it only works in portrait orientation and there s no option to zoom in on the TV I m very disappointed and want a refund     Not as advertised GYMTINO

Was hesitant to purchase based on all the negative reviews however decided to try it out anyway and pretty pleased with results                 Works pretty well JB@7

Don t waste your money When the app worked it was very inconsistent and due to the latest bridge update it doesn t work at all     Terrible philgt81

I bought the app last December and used it only a couple times After the hue bridge update it stopped working and says can not find network I m not alone in this problem When will you fix it     Does not connect to bridge Christina Christina

I used this app successfully for at least six months Unfortunately after the most recent bridge update the app no longer works It will not connect to the bridge If your Hue bridge software is up to date do not purchase this app     Doesn t Work After Update 20PASTIV

Very disappointed with this app The lights change quickly with the tv but the colors are not even close to what s on the screen Dark Screen Bright White Light Wasted money on this one Hopefully something functional is out there     Huge Let Down JayJay21401

So I pay for this and it doesn t connect to my bridge Refund or what     No connection The Snapchater

Hue camera has not been keeping up with the Philips hue Bridge updates After the last bridge update to the bridge this app stopped working     Camera app stopped after bridge update Agnostic Lennon

I just deleted the app and reinstalled it and it works great now I think this works well with my new Hue bridge and use it a lot when I m gaming No complaints I d just like to see more bells and whistles                 Love it steevil

I don t get the animosity people are having This is supposed to do one thing and I think it does a great job Without more than 30 seconds of setup and tweaking it was making my lights match the screen hue quickly and accurately It has one job and it does it well                     What s the problem guys Bravo88

This app is useless unless you hold your phone directly inform of the screen     No way to zoom or control the border Djtokimi

Needs work     Camera keeps on freezing Anthoni

Do not buy Not working correctly     Camera orientation not working Player boarder

Please switch back to the camera orientation in the previous version I would use this with my iPad Air 2 upside down so I could charge and sync my lights with my tv at the same time Now when I place the iPad upside down the camera flips to an upside down mode instead of correcting and flipping the screen correctly It s not possible for me to charge and use this app at the same time now I do love the new options for light dimming brightness and if you fix the screen orientation this app will be perfect again Thanks for the hard work and effort                 Camera orientation now broke Spot1x

The camera orientation on my iPad Air 2 is very buggy they definitely need to fix that But I do like how you can change the brightness of the lights now         Camera Orientation Cscbritain

This app works as described however what the description fails to say is that you have to keep your device open and the app running the entire time It s great but drains your battery especially if your watching a 2 hour movie As far as the app itself I did not experience any delay I hope the developer will read this review because I do have an idea that I think would work in conjunction with this app Make a web cam specially designed for use only with this app that connects to the hue bridge via wifi and plugs into an outlet for power No more phone being open                 Great app but Adamacl

The effect is very nice when it works Frankly the app is broken It regularly forgets the bridge and requires a reinstall with no option to locate the bridge Stay away until fixed not worth the trouble at this time         It s broken Solunsford

So choppy and distracting it is terrible     Complete waste of money GradyWhite2000

Works great Disconnects from bridge on second startup I have to uninstall and reinstall then connect every time Annoying Running on iPad mini             Needs to be reinstalled before every use SavicIII

I purchased the app thinking I could use the front facing camera and leave my device in the dock facing my tv instead of having to balance the thing with the back facing the tv Between adding an option for front facing camera and better dynamic lighting with regard to brightness not bad         Needs Improvement Megagokushadow

This app hasn t been updated in a year It could be better Another app out there called hue TV allows you to focus in and draw a square around the TV you want to watch It also gets updates Don t waste your money on this old app         There s a better option now Veryous

to get the best out of the app make sure when you have your phone pointed at the tv to use pinching the screen to adjust the zoom so that the tv fills the whole screen on your phone awesome show great job                     love it GermanGuy1234567

Very responsive Does exactly what it says it does Very simple interface The only thing I would like to see is placement of lights If you could just link them with certain parts of the picture that would be legendary Loving it so far Keep up the good work                 Works as it should EternalCage

I really wish is worked well but unfortunately the delay between the screen and the lights kills any practical usage of this app for most movies or games I generally experience a 20 30 second delay when playing around with it Also the practicalities of propping up a device to point at the screen and leaving the device on the whole time makes the app very unwieldy to use         Interesting Idea Too Many Inherent Issues Mizzou drew
